Meals on Wheels Cornucopia

On Monday, November 5th, Meals on Wheels will host a unique new fundraising event. Titled, “Cornucopia”, the event will feature top chefs from around the Hudson Valley preparing an intimate diner party for their own table of 10 guests. Each table will have its own exclusive experience as they get to know a chef, hear his or her cooking tips, and taste a one of a kind meal prepared especially for them. The event will take place at Edgewood Country Club at 449 Rivervale Road in River Vale, New Jersey from 5:30 – 9:30pm.

“Think of it as a ‘Food Network’ type event where you are being treated to a small intimate dinner party while 200 other guests in the ballroom have their own chef’s table experience!” states Don Hammond, Executive Director of Meals on Wheels in Rockland.

Some of the unusual characteristics of this event include the fact that the chefs will be preparing and finishing their entrees in front of guests tableside; the need for guests to register early in order to choose the chef they wish to dine with; and the production of a keepsake cookbook/journal where chef recipes will be included as well as recipes submitted by guests and sponsors of the event.
